The Delicate Flower's Country Boyfriend [1990s]

[Clear-headed, wealthy beauty and lovesick country heartthrob]

1. By chance, Xu Ruanruan overhears that she's been promised in marriage to a country bumpkin. It's the greatest insult imaginable to the most beautiful flower in the whole compound, so she decides to take the initiative and meet this man who doesn't know his place.

She never expected that this country man would be exactly her type. But that still doesn't change the fact that he's a muddy-legged country bumpkin.

Still, given how handsome he is, she decides to date him over summer vacation for two months. That should fulfill the fact that they're engaged, after which she'll brush off her hands and leave in style.

2. Zhao Hao has known since childhood that he has an unattainable fiancee. But he never expected she'd already fallen deeply in love with him, and would travel so far to date him. He absolutely must not let her down.

Even if she asks for the stars, he'll pluck them from the sky for her. And what's so hard about drinking spring water, taking a flower-petal bath, eating grilled fish and chicken, and using pearl powder? Isn't that what a boyfriend should do?

But one day, he hears what she's really thinking. It turns out she only came to "humiliate" him.

Excerpt:

Xu Ruanruan: "Zhao Hao, I'll stop pretending. Just look at yourself. Apart from that face, what else do you have that makes you worthy of me? And you have the nerve to date me? You're shameless. You deserve it. You can spend your whole life with your mud!"

Zhao Hao silently washes his hands, ignoring the merciless voice by his ear. He knew all along, didn't he? He quietly opens the lotus leaves wrapped around the beggar's chicken. The fragrant aroma of lotus leaves instantly fills the courtyard, dispersing the gloom in his heart!

That smells so good! Xu Ruanruan regrets blurting out what she said and quietly swallows. Without much conviction, she murmurs, "You should've grilled it sooner. Then I wouldn't have broken up with you today. I mean, we could've dated for one more day."

As she speaks, she edges toward the grilled chicken. It won't hurt to break up after she eats!

Zhao Hao remains expressionless. He takes Xu Ruanruan's hand and carefully wipes each finger clean, listening to her silent grumbling.

"Oh, besides his face, he has nice hands too. I'm doomed. Can I extend this summer romance? Who told me the countryside only had mud? There's grilled chicken, and grilled fish too! Speaking of which, can we have grilled fish tomorrow? I'll renew the date for one more day."

Grilled fish?

Zhao Hao's icy gaze settles on her, as if he could kill the ridiculous little rascal with a look. But his hands honestly feed her, and he says in a quiet, brooding voice, "Tomorrow, we'll have grilled fish!"

So what if he knows what she's thinking? She's still got him wrapped around her little finger. He loves and resents her, but what can he do about it?

Note:

1. No transmigration and no rebirth. Fictional period setting, one-on-one romance, fluffy wish-fulfillment;

2. The heroine loves beauty and food, and is spoiled, coquettish, and guileless. She's adorable, but not perfect;

3. The hero's golden finger only works on the heroine. It's purely a romance cheat code.
